What does "type -a cvs" show you (from BASH)? Might you have an alias or shell function intervening between the command line and the actual invocation of the process?
Also, are you sure you're running Cygwin cvs? Might there be another cvs installed on your system?

Simply running "cvs a" gives the same error message. I suppose it is time to compile from source and debug the problem.
